NASHVILLE TO GET MORE NON-STOP FLIGHTS TO THE SUN WITH VACATIONEXPRESS.com

Punta Cana, Jamaica and Cancun Now More Accessible and Affordable!

Atlanta - August 21, 2013

Starting March 2, 2014, tour operator VACATIONEXPRESS.com will resume its seasonal non-stop chartered flights from Nashville to three sunny resort destinations. Known for affordable flights and more frill vacation packages, VACATIONEXPRESS.com combines the convenience of well-timed flights that give passengers more beach time. With flights leaving in the mid-morning and returning in the afternoon, flights are scheduled on the best days of the week or weekend, depending on the destination.

Teaming up with top rated airlines, offering a first free checked bag, some with affordably priced first-class options, all of the flights are available exclusively through VACATIONEXPRESS.com. These non-stop flights are great for couples, families and groups looking to get away. While the airfare only option is offered on all routes, the general public is opting for vacation packages that include airfare and all-inclusive resort stay. When going "all-inclusive," you pay one price for your accommodations, all meals and drinks. Unlike a cruise vacation where vacationers often end up with a large bill as they get off the ship, all-inclusive resorts include almost everything except for little extras such as spa treatments and tours - and even those are included at some of the five star options. Budgeting has never been easier, whether you stay at a three, four or five star resort.

Starting on March 2, 2014, non-stop flights will be heading to Cancun, the gateway to Classic Cancun and the Riviera Maya; leaving every Sunday and returning every Saturday. Flown by Aeromexico, a SkyTeam member, their 737 planes offer comfortable main cabin seats and wider 2x2 seating in first class. Round-trip airfares, including taxes, begin at $596, which is why most travelers, opt for airfare and all-inclusive resort packages with VACATIONEXPRESS.com instead. For example, vacation packages start at $899; $979 for a four-star resort; $1279 for a five-star resort.

Beginning on May 19, 2014, Punta Cana flights will be non-stop every Monday, with returns on Sundays. Punta Cana vacation packages, including round-trip airfare and all-inclusive resort, plus taxes start at $789; $949 for a four-star resort; $1099 for a five-star resort. Weekend getaways to Jamaica will be offered starting on May 15, 2014 with convenient Thursday departures and Monday returns. These 4-night packages, perfect for the long weekend, start at $799 and include round-trip airfare and an all-inclusive four-star resort, plus taxes. Both Punta Cana and Jamaica flights will be flown by Miami Air International, leaders in the private aviation space, who cater to rock stars, professional sports teams and more. When sitting in their plush leather seats, vacationers can fantasize on who sat on their seats, prior to them.

While VACATIONEXPRESS.com offers a variety of resorts including all of the well-known chains, the sister company operates three resorts offering special prices in conjunction with these charter flights. In Punta Cana, vacationers can enjoy the new "All-In Luxury" concept within Royalton Punta Cana and family-fun at the Memories Splash Punta Cana. In Jamaica, Royalton White Sands in Montego Bay boasts all things luxury; from dining to accommodations to destination weddings.

And for those interested in vacation layaway programs, VACATIONEXPRESS.com provides Reduced Deposit Plans for their vacation plans, irrelevant of ticket cost, carrier or class of service. The total deposit per couple is as low as $470. VACATIONEXPRESS.com has been in existence for 25 years and offers quality vacation packages to over 35 destinations in the Caribbean, Mexico and Latin America with a focus on value and client satisfaction. Always on the brink with communicative technology, VACATIONEXPRESS.com prides itself on originality and unique customer messaging.
